For virtio device id, I think it is needed for kernel/userspace to know 
which driver to load (e.g loading virtio-net for networking devic).

For virtio vendor id, it was needed by kernel virtio driver, and virtio 
bus can match driver based on virtio vendor id. So it doesn't prevent 
3rd vendor specific driver for virtio device.

Maybe we can report VIRTIO_DEV_ANY_ID as vendor id to forbid vendor 
specific stuffs.

Thanks
